Important Reminders on Snow and Ice Removal on U.P. Streets

University Place, WALocal News

The City of University Place has established a systematic tiered approach for snow and ice removal in anticipation of severe winter weather. Main arterial roads, including Grandview Drive, Bridgeport Way West, and Cirque Drive West, are prioritized for immediate attention to ensure safe travel. Following these routes, secondary roads like Chambers Creek Road and Alameda Avenue West will receive service. Neighborhood and side streets are designated as the last areas to be addressed. Residents are encouraged to refer to the city’s snow removal maps for specific details regarding the service plan.

The city also urges motorists to exercise patience and provide adequate space for Public Works trucks as they work diligently to clear the roads. This proactive strategy not only aims to enhance safety but also fosters community cooperation during challenging weather conditions. By staying informed and mindful, residents can contribute to a safer environment for all.
